Find the file in your directory, with Dolphin or whatever your file
manager is.
(I assume you have unzipped it. If not, then, in a console, cd to the
directory where
the .zip file is, and type unzip convert.zip and it will create the
convert.exe file.) You can
leave it where it is, or move it where you'd like. I found the file in
Dolphin--it IS a Windows
program--and I right clicked on it and said copy. then I pasted it on
my desktop. Snap on
the icon on your desktop and it should open. Mine does.
